Hi Jen,

The code you have is fine. But the task also asks you to change the colour of the text (to any colour you like, like the background colour).

Hope that helps,

Ede

Also I have noticed that on some of the challenges it doesn't always recognize short hand. There was one that I had to specify 

#myID {
background-color: #fff  
}

It would not accept for some reason

#myID {
background: #fff
}

Just a thought.

That's true, sometimes there are cases like that.

Shouldn't be an issue here, though. I tried this task before and it passed with the shorthand:

background: #fff;

All the best,

Ede
